It has been a long time since I have posted. The primary reason for this has been related to my lack of funds. You see my hosting renewal came up and I did not have the money to renew my hosting. I pulled the trigger a few hours ago and purchased my hosting.
Not much new here in northwest Missouri. The job hunt still continues. I have updated my resume I can’t tell you how many times but I know the best way for your resume to be noticed is for someone else to deliver it. However I still keep plugging away. Some people have asked if I want to be a youth pastor or a senior pastor and right now I am kind of in the either one camp. I have 15 years of experience as a youth pastor and that is something I enjoy doing. So in the right circumstance I would take a youth pastor postion. However most of the churches I have submitted to have been senior pastor postions. All of this to say the search continues. It has been 2 years since I have ministered in a full time capacity and trust me I am ready. But it is God’s timing so i will continue to wait upon the Lord.
Ok I will admit it this is a shameless plug for my e-book I have completed. Yes it is for sale.

This is not just for pastors and youth pastors either. This information is good for any job and will help you out no matter what you are writig your resume for. So if you are interested then check it out.
Over the course of the last few months I have felt God directing me to look at becoming a Sr. Pastor of a church. However I know the Pastor Search is a difficult one. Trust me this was never in my though process and I never had any desire to ever become a Sr. Pastor. However I also can’t deny when God appears to be working in my life. After the counsel of several close friends telling me that I should at least consider the option of a Sr. Pastor I decided to jump in. I have sent my resume out to a few churches and have had some churches interested in me but they were not a good fit.
